Compassion ~ Thought


“Why do I have to take 5 extra steps to just quickly save a file onto my computer, without needing literally everything on the cloud, especially if I am on a laptop on a device currently in airplane mode, most likely in a literal airplane in an area without reliable Internet connectivity?”
Also consider that there are places - third world nations, and so very MANY areas within supposedly “first-world” ones - that do not have reliable Internet, even today. The KISS principle still applies now, as it did back then too. Your argument screams privileged access, without acknowledging those basic precepts, including perpetual access to subscription services, which must always be maintained, e.g. even after someone retires.
And I disagree in that arguments of the form “LLMs currently do not perform better than my own human effort, in my inexperienced hands at least” will be outdated a decade from now. If LLMs get better, then they will become the musings of people who struggled with early tech before it was fully ready, which does not somehow invalidate their veracity especially in the historical sense.


“Work” at what purpose, selling product and making investors money? Presumably, no.


People have been trying to call things “AI” for at least the last half century (with varying degrees of success). They were chomping at the bit for this before most of us here were even alive.
We are at end-stage capitalism and things other than scientific discoveries and technological engineering marvels are driving the show now. Money is made regardless of reality, and cultural shifts follow the money. Case in point: we too here are calling this “AI”.


Yes but counterpoint: give me your money.
… or else something bad might happen to you? Sadly this seems the intellectual level that the discussion is at right now, and corporate structure being authoritarian, leans towards listening to those highest up in the hierarchy, such as Donald J. Trump.
“Logic” has little to do with any of this. The elites have spoken, so get to marching, NOW.
He wants one of their own now, along with HRT.
It really is that simple. The fewer Ys the more up she is for it.
And I am loving it:-)
Yes absolutely. Not only are they federated, but they are even exposed via the API, as described in more detail at https://piefed.social/c/piefed_api/p/1596518/emoji-reactions-in-the-piefed-api. Of course it is up to each recipient to decide how or whether to do anything with that, but it’s there whenever they are ready for it, and emojis show on the PieFed web UI.
See also https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/9098/fep-9098.md e.g.:
This document is based on implementations of custom emojis in Pleroma, Mastodon, Misskey and Fedibird.
That said, I am not certain if they can all interrelate currently, as opposed to merely representing similar ideals. This should help get you started if you wanted to do more deep diving though:-).
PieFed also offers emoji reactions, I see 3 distinct types on this post so far.
If only he had the high ground…
The purity testing is real…😭
Is it… (checks notes) “Twelve parsecs”, perchance?


I think the person you were responding to meant that the execs were not useful (see the parent comment), or at least not as useful to the overall enterprise as their salaries would have lead you to believe, in comparison to a standard developer.
Yes workflow systems are useful. Jira is a bad implementation to a good idea. It might help if they listened to feedback from people who actually used their software to improve it. Tbf they do make some good changes occasionally, like adding dark mode (which isn’t perfect but also it isn’t nothing).


Prior Sprints do not Exist.
There is your active Sprint, there is a huge pile of all tickets that ever were, unable to be sorted by any reasonable metric, and there are the interlinks between tickets. Nothing else exists.
When your Sprint ends, say goodbye for you shall literally never see your helpful comment that you put all those details into again.


Not me.
(I’ve known that all along, since I first laid eyes upon it and it refused to sort by “date”.)
It’s a video. I’ll see if I can get it to auto play here:
